IDE style completions menu

[universalmind303]

microsoft just came out with a pretty cool IDE style completions menu for the CLI.

It would be amazing to have this as a built in menu type.

yup, looking forward to someone submitting a PR to inshellisense to add nushell support. not exactly sure what reedline would need, if anything.

While it could be done externally, I think a native IDE style menu type would greatly benefit the community as a whole. Many use reedline for creating text editors & other such toolings that would benefit from a built in ide style completion menu.

The current Columnar and List menus work for many use cases, but I feel like the IDE style one is the main missing component.

Yup, it would be a cool built-in. We just need a motivated and talented developer to implement it. You're welcome to try.
